OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

In the UK, the National Security and Investment Act was updated in May 2024 to include guidance for the higher education and research-intensive sectors. On May 23, 2024, EU Ministers adopted a Council Recommendation to Enhance Research Security, addressing urgent risks associated with openness and international cooperation in research. These include knowledge transfer, malign influence, and ethical violations. However, this new security context must not stifle the core principles of open science, which remain essential to innovation. These new recommendations and legislation should offer a unique opportunity to reframe and implement open and participatory science (also known as citizen science). This workshop explores the new opportunities for open science and engaged research in the context of research security. In the UK, we call it Trusted Research.
